Patient Presentation/Chief Complaint: A 65-year-old female (non-smoker) presents on a 3 rd opinion with a history of medicationinduced xerostomia (MIX)-resulting in generalized recurrent caries and generalized chronic advanced periodontitis with contributing parafunctional habits ( occlusal periodontitis ). Her chief complaint was a desire to improve her esthetics and comfort and she wanted a quick, permanent solution to replace her failing dentitions. Generalized heavy fremitus and 2-3 degree mobilities were noted with history of parafunctional habits and TMJ symptoms. Before & After Anterior Retracted View Description of Treatment and Surgery: In one coordinated surgical visit with Dr. Levine (prosthodontist office: Dr. Randel, NewTech Dental Laboratory: Lansdale, PA, Straumann dental implant rep): All remaining teeth were minimally traumatically removed after full-thickness flaps with the aid of the Piezosurgery (Mectron). Significant vertical ridge height reduction completed with the Piezosurgery saw to provide the necessary prosthetic room for a hybrid restoration. Five implants were placed in the maxillae with 4 placed in the mandible. Minimally traumatic Piezosurgery-assisted removal of the mandibular tori (bilaterally). Abutments placed & insertion torques measured. Impressions of both jaws with bite registrations at the appropriate OVD. Delivery of a screw-retained metal-reinforced fixed provisional prosthesis (converted from pre-surgically fabricated FUD/FLD) next day with occlusal equilibration. Coordinated follow-up visits every two to three weeks for three months for full mouth polish and plaque control review as well as occlusal equilibration as needed. A water irrigation device was given at 4 weeks. PA digital x-rays taken at 3 months confirmed bone healing. Delivery of final screw-retained case with maxillary night guard appliance. Periodontal maintenance visits every 3 months with periodic FMX and/or Panorex at 3- years. 2

Description of Follow-up and Patient Long Term results and Future Prognosis: With history of TMJ, periodontal disease and parafunctional habits, periodontal maintenance program of every 3 months was recommended. Maxillary night guard appliance used daily Periodontal maintenance every 3-months; compliance has been excellent and there are no signs of peri-implant mucositis/peri-implantitis. The Team Approach to her care was seamless and she was extremely pleased with her results! 2017 publication referenced for this Case of the Month with its corresponding four-page prosthetic work-sheet detailing all prosthetic steps for the Indirect Technique for Provisionalization are available upon request from Rlevine@padentalimplants.com.
